WEDNESDAY, MAT 25. 1938. fTAlx J. l -.ii . i ZZ?a"n " ' ' " ' ' ' '" . . - SUPPLY OF WATER Bureau of Agriculture Now Sends Men On Snow shoes to Gather Positive Data in 'Them Thar Hills' CORVALLIS, May 33. P Weather worried stockmen and Irrigation farm ers no longer gaze at the snowy mountain, and remark with uncer tainty: "Wal. It look like we're go ing to have enough water to get through the summer." They Just drop into the local bu reau ot the agricultural englnefirs and acquire positive knowledge of the moisture in 'them there hills." It ' not such a simple matter, how ever, for the government scientists. Thev check the snowfall annunlly for the life it holds for millions of acres under production and great roaming herds of cattle. Young Man's Job, The actual field work ts a young man's occupation because Its means hazardous, exhausting ski and now shoe Journeys along the windy crest of the Cn-ieade range to approximately 70 scattered Oregon checking sta tlona. Careful records describe snow depth and water content. By spring the precipitation Is known In major drainage basins. The engineers ac curately forecast the water storage in reservoirs, the condition of soil mois ture and ground vater and the prob able stream run-off. Trained men collect the material on four treks through deep snow and frigid temperatures to each checking point. As a result, a farmer on an irrl nation project will know at the start of the season whether he will bo short of water when some of his crops need It most. If ho Is. he can plan his year's program accordingly. Pipe Measure 8 now. The snow is measured with alum inum pipes forced to the grouitd The pipes are graduated In inches to show the exact depth, and per forated so the height of the core sample can be measured easily when the pipes are withdrawn. The snow filled pipes are weighed to give the percentage of water. The checkers, who usually travel in pairs for con venience and safety, repent the rou tine several times to obtain an ac curate n vertigo. The government has constructed special shelters along the dangerous routes between the stations. Each hut nan a "Santa Claus chimney" an enclosed ladder extending high above the roof to permit the checkers to enter even though the cabins have been smothered In snow.

In the law prohibiting sales of goods or services at leu than cost. 'Cost' is defined as cost of goods, plus actual operat ing cost. The only deviation from this rule Is that In the sale of food products, cost of doing business Is arbitrarily set at six per cent above replacement cost of goods, aitnougn a recent survey showed that the minimum overhead of food stores In Oregon la 12 per cent." The act also outlaws brokerage fees, commissions, advertising or other allowances that are in effect discrimination In price." It is the belief of our associa tion, representing merchants In fcll lines of business, that the new law will be of maximum benefit to all of our people.
